After being 911-less for over 2 years I have returned to the fold with an '06 997 (black/black w/ 28K miles). I will be picking it up probably next weekend.

I appreciate everyone's input to previous questions and I am sure that I will have more very soon.

@Hunt3R ... paid $39K. A contact at the local Porsche dealership was a rock star and sent me the build sheet. It is about as bare bones as you can get ... which is exactly what I wanted.

The only real options (other than mats and colored wheel caps) were 19 inch wheels (no longer on the car), sport steering wheel and the Bose High End Sound Package.
